The new king is born! G7 cuts 24+9+3, and fights to cramps. This is the cornerstone that the Rockets should have!

In the just-concluded NBA playoffs, although the Houston Rockets lost to the Golden State Warriors 89-103 and missed the second round, a new star shone in the game in this life-and-death battle, and he is Amen Thompson. In the whole game, Amen Thompson played for 40 minutes, made 9 of 16 shots, scored 24 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, almost carrying the Rockets' offensive banner with his own strength, and even fought at the end of the game. His tenacious fighting spirit and comprehensive performance undoubtedly announced the rise of a new cornerstone. At the beginning of the game, Amen showed a strong desire to win. Facing the Warriors' tough defense, he was not afraid and used his excellent physical fitness and explosive power to hit the basket many times, causing damage. With 5 minutes and 30 seconds left in the first quarter, Amen received a pass from Shin Kyung, started from outside the three-point line, breaking through the Warriors' defense like lightning, jumping high and completing a powerful dunk, igniting the atmosphere in Toyota Center and setting a good start for the Rockets. In the second quarter, the Warriors strengthened their defense against Amen, but he did not fall into a downturn. On the offensive end, he can not only score by himself, but also revitalize the team's offense through passing. During an attack, Amen broke through and attracted double teams, and quickly distributed the ball to Van Vreet, who was open on the outside, who made a three-pointer to help the Rockets stabilize the situation. At the end of the half, Amen had scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, becoming the Rockets' highest scorer. In the second half of

, the game entered a white-hot stage. Under the leadership of Curry, Hilder and others, the Warriors gradually widened the score gap. However, Amen did not give up. He actively fought on the defensive end and successfully made a steal many times to create fast break opportunities for the Rockets. With 3 minutes left in the third quarter, Amen successfully stole Curry, and then he quickly stepped down and staged a wonderful one-handed buckle, which made the audience excited. In the final quarter, Amen tried his best. He kept rushing to the Warriors' inside line, trying to help the Rockets narrow the gap. Although the Rockets ultimately failed to reverse the game, Amen's performance won the respect of the audience and opponents. With 2 minutes left in the game, Amen fell to the ground due to lack of physical strength, but after a little rest, he returned to the court and continued to fight. This tenacious spirit is moving.

Looking at the entire series, Amen's performance was amazing. From being a little immature at first, to gradually adapting to the intensity of the playoffs, he showed great potential on both offense and defense. Compared with his rookie in the same class, Amen has more outstanding abilities in rebounding and defense, and he ranks among the best in rebounding and steals per game. When playing against some experienced veterans, Amen is not inferior. With his talent and hard work, he has caused a lot of trouble for his opponents. After the game, Amen said in an interview: "Although we lose the game, we will not be discouraged. This series has taught me a lot and I will become stronger." Rockets head coach Uduka also praised Amen's performance: "Amen is the future of our team, and his performance today proves his value. He is very active on both offense and defense and is a role model for the team."

For the Rockets, although the playoff journey this season has ended, Amen Thompson's rise has given the team hope. His comprehensive performance and tenacious fighting spirit make people believe that he is expected to be the core of the team's reconstruction and lead the Rockets to new glory. In the future, Amen needs to continue to improve his shooting stability and basketball IQ. I believe that with his efforts, he will surely shine even more dazzling on the NBA stage. The Rockets will also continue to build a team around young players such as Amen, looking forward to achieving better results in the future season.
